It was a good ride though and proud to say I wondered those hallowed halls for a year and a half.

My Dad tried to go to met school at FSU but like you found the physics/math more than he could do, especially while working full time. In rwtrospect I should have tried for met school but my weather nerdiness/knowledge didn't surface till the 90's long after I was married and had kids. I will ALWAYS be a SEMINOLE!!

first name spelt backwards AKA Karl :D At first everybody thought it was political because it reminded them of the Irak spelling picture taken during the war.

Ravyrn was the name I used as head admin on an old Danish MUD I used to run back in the 90s. I decided to use it here.

xxx = kisses. We all need love in our life, and I don't think I will be able to cope without it. In fact, I don't think anyone can. We all need someone in our life to care for and love us for being... us.

humberto = my name. I know it is of Italian/Hispanic origin, but my parents just randomly gave me this name because they like the sound of it. I don't have any affiliation with Italy or any Hispanic country, being of Scandinavian ethnicity/origin, but I find all kinds of cultures inspiring and interesting.

Barbadians (citizens of Barbados) usually call themselves Bajans. So, since I'm a Bajan, I went with abajan.
